USEFUL TO NOTE THAT INCLUSION OF PHILIPPINES AMONG SIX
COUNTRIES REPORTED ON DOES NOT IMPLY ANY JUDGMENT THAT
PHILIPPINES CONSIDERED BY EITHER CONGRESS OR DEPARTMENT
TO BE AMONG ANY SIX WORST CASES. THESE SIX COUNTRIES
WERE INCLUDED IN REPORT SIMPLY BECAUSE THESE WERE THE
SIX COUNTRIES ON WHICH HIRC CHAIRMAN MORGAN REQUESTED
REPORTS UNDER SECTION 502(B)(C).
